Group Discussion Tips for SBI PO Recruitment

Dear

After
SBI Mains students have to go through two more rounds, Group Discussion and
Personal Interview. We’ve already given you some tips for facing Personal Interview
and now we will discuss some Tips for Group Discussion.

You
must note that Group Discussion and Personal Interview are of 50 marks collectively and the final merit list will be announced after aggregating converted marks of Written Test and Group Discussion &Interview out of 100 for each category. That is a
big reason for you to start preparing for the real face off with SBI’s
recruitment process. After coming this far you really do not want to miss that
mark because you probably did not paid heed to these two sections. For
achieving you dream of becoming Probationary Officer in SBI, you must prepare
yourself well for the day of Group Discussion and Personal Interview.

Why do Banks conduct a Group Discussion round in recruitment
process?

It
is important to understand that what is the motive of an organization behind
the rounds they conduct for their recruitment process? If an aspirant is well
aware of what is the organisation is looking for and how well can he deliver it
to them, he can easily go through any round of recruitment process.

Banks
are looking, if you are well capable of handling the responsibilities assigned
to you. How well do you respond when an instant response is required? And how
well are your skills to handle pressure? If a candidate is applying for the
post of Probationary Officer they expect him to have a good command over
language with efficient speaking skills and leadership qualities so the he is
capable of influencing both customers and peers. You must stay updated with the
happening in and around the world, as they do not want a person who is not
aware of the current scenarios.

Some Tips for facing Group Discussion

☞ You
should dress appropriately, as first impression is very important if you are
going for any job recruitment process.

☞ Be as natural as possible. Do not try to be someone you are not.
Be yourself. In an attempt to be someone else, your opinions will not be
portrayed.

☞ Grab the opportunity to speak first, i.e. to start the group
discussion with your opinion. It generally leaves a good impression on the examiner, but take the move only if you have complete knowledge of the subject.

☞ Do not repeat a point, or be lengthy or irrelevant. Also
intervene, if someone else is going on an irrelevant track.

☞ Be an active and dynamic participant. The examiner wants to hear
you speak. So do put forth your views. But remember you should not speak
irrelevant points as it makes a negative impression.

☞ Think well before you speak. You are being
heard and judged upon. Being a good listener is also important along with being
a good speaker.

☞ When raising an objection to a point kept by another
speaker, back it up with a solid reason to get the point across

☞ Use quotes, facts and figures, statements, everyday
life examples to express a clear chain of thoughts. Also it might leave a good
impression on the examiner and help you score well.

☞ Try to
keep up with as much information on the latest happenings and also on
general topics as you can.
